A shot list for a vertical clip is eleven lines long and takes ten minutes to write. Skipping it costs an afternoon.
I read the whole list out so you can see how boring it is.
Eleven lines, ten minutes
- Opening frame and eyeline
- Three moves, one per beat
- Two safety takes
- One reset shot for the cut
Write the shot list while you still care. You will not care at six in the morning.
